Oh thanks, I ain't nervous now!

But I guess that's the beauty of open pit, you don't need to rag it or be piled into a group session, you take your time

i normaly only go to oulton park for mitsubishi lancer registers end of season track day as its me local track and i've got a evo and used to live right by there, so it was a surprise to see in FAST FORD that they are doing a track day there,last time i remember a ford track day at oulton i think it may of been a TURBOSYSTEMS or COLLINS ENGINEERING customer cars track day and they were good days.

So are we,cant wait to see this monster Historic Ford Thundersaloon practice for these future HMSA events.

We hope theres no decibel limit as this thing goes off the scale.

When this new association HMSA www.historicmodsportsandsaloons.com gets bigger and they start races of their own it will be spectacular to spectate,can you imagine grids full of these awesome monsters.

Bring them on.

i agree there will probably be some brake downs but with fast ford orgonising it for the mag there isnt much point letting other makes on track

if you want to go on a track day in a none ford join the rsoc

Angry HMSA Historic Race Cars noise levels and silly new residents

Originally Posted by blacky.

There are quite a few race circuits that seem to be over zealous with their low noise requirements.

Many of these circuits have been there for many years,then you get the new neighbour from Hell move onto the nearby housing estate and squeal to the Council that they can hear Race cars.

The councils being the mean little S***s that they are enforce a noise abatement order on the circuit.

Why move into an area knowing there is a race circuit there,if they want to know what noise is go to somewhere like Brixton.

At Goodwood the residual house prices went up because of the Historic Circuit being there,then because of the new resident clowns living in Lavant who complained about noise,the DCB levels had to come down.

Most of these complaining little Hitlers are the ones who get paid by the Council to act as Traffic Wardens and Speed Trap volunteers.

What I say is to strap them to a Special Saloon,preferably underneath and take them for a lap or two.
